Systems Approach for Better Education
Results (SABER) country report;2013 |
| description |
Bulgaria implemented sweeping
decentralization and efficiency-focused reforms in basic
education in 2007 and 2008. The education system adjusted to
the negative demographic trends by optimizing the network of
schools (closing and merging schools), introducing
per-capita based financing and delegating significant
financial and decision-making autonomy to school principals.
This policy reform package produced a number of benefits for
the education sector; it accrued savings of over 100 million
BGN and increased wages by 46 percent and reallocation of
resources for capital investment (World Bank 2010). Despite
the government's impressive achievements in terms of
spending efficiency and high enrollment, lingering concerns
remain about the quality and equity of the education system.
The country has seen a negative trend in student learning
outcomes as measured by international assessments. At the
request of the Government of Bulgaria, the World Bank has
implemented its newly developed tool for assessment and
benchmarking of policies and programs affecting
teacher's effectiveness Systems Approach for Better
Education Results (SABER) teachers. The key findings and
policy options outlined in the present report are intended
to inform the finalization of the new draft law and the
development of the bylaws regulating teachers' policies
in Bulgaria. This report presents results of the application
of SABER-teachers in Bulgaria. It describes Bulgaria's
performance in each of the eight teacher policy goals,
alongside comparative information from education systems
that have consistently scored high results in international
student achievement tests and have participated in
SABER-teachers. Additional detailed descriptive information
on Bulgaria's and other education systems' teacher
policies can be found on the SABER-teachers website. |
